June 28, 2012 Spain´s unrivaled queen of urban music, Mala Rodríguez, will present a powerful show on her U.S. debut tour starting this June 28th in D.C. with the support of Spain Arts & Culture. Washington, DC – Latin Grammy and MTV Latin America Award-winning artist Mala Rodríguez will present a powerful show with her provocative, demanding, sexy and powerfully-interpreted songs from her latest and fourth album Dirty Ballerina (Universal 2010) as well as her greatest hits. After winning Best Hip Hop Album at the 2011 Premios de La Musica for her album Dirty Ballerina, and a Latin Grammy for Best Urban Song for her first single NoPidasPerdón, La Mala is now poised to take over the United States with her debut tour of the country. Maria Rodríguez was born in Jerez de la Frontera (Cadiz, Spain), but it was not until she moved to Seville that she took an interest in R&B and hip-hop music, and in 1997 made her first demo tape at age 18. Two years later, Maria made her debut as Mala Rodríguez and forever changed the face of Spanish rap with her smash hit Yo Marco El Minuto, becoming the first female to gain respect in a male-dominated genre.
